Forget about comparing a Crestliner with brand X or Y since with 100 models the company can match virtually anything else on the market. Crestliner is one-stop shopping. Your only problem will be sorting through all of their boats, but they have the best solution we have seen for that, too. We told you they had something nice.

Yes, it is all a bit confusing to us, too. But not to worry. So how does an angler figure out which boat is the best one for his application, particularly since so many of their boats look the same? No problem -- the folks at Crestliner have taken a cue from BoatTEST.com and have created a comparison feature on their website. It is one of the best ones we have ever seen on a site and we heartily recommend it to you. With it you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for. Simply click here...
